End food deserts now

Since food deserts — places that lack access to fresh, wholesome food — manifest in a variety of ways, from dense urban areas with no fresh grocers, to places surrounded by urban land that residents can’t use due to zoning, private ownership, liability concerns, etc., to places where residents could grow but they don’t know how and don’t know how to use what they produce, I decided that rather than depicting any one of these scenarios in pictorial form, I’d just use a sad font to tell the story that unites them all: There is no food in this place

More on the tragedy of food deserts — and inspiring stories about what some people are doing about it — in the chapbook essay.
